This work is accompanied by a copy of a certificate of authenticity from Short Street Gallery which states: 'This is my mother's country. There are plenty of trees on one side of this waterhole. This is Kirrwirrjila (permanent waterhole). It has plenty of water. In the country on the other side of the tali (sandhill) there is no water at all. We would camp here along the tali, close to the jila.'
